Stock market updates today: Asian Paints Preview Q3FY24 by Parth Shah, Research Analyst, StoxBox
Though Asian Paints’ Q2FY24 performance was subdued on the back of erratic monsoons and a delayed festive season, we expect strong growth in Q3FY24 volumes due to deferment of sales and the festive and wedding season. In the previous quarters, the company saw a dip due to weak rural demand impacting overall volumes. However, factors such as improvement on the rural side, an increase in government spending, and overall monsoon deficit decline will aid growth in Q3FY24. Furthermore, the company’s safe painting services (SPS) and trusted contractor services (TCS), which are a significant part of the company’s business, saw exponential growth and doubled in size. The company has already added about 7,000 touchpoints of its planned 8,000-10,000 touchpoints during the first half of the year and aims to expand its network further. Additionally, the company is growing its ‘Whiteteak’ and ‘Weatherseal’ home décor business by expanding its store network and increasing traction across beautiful homes. These segments have shown positive growth over previous quarters and are expected to continue further. Considering the festive and wedding season, expansion of the network, growth in rural demand, and post-monsoon pickup in the real estate projects, we believe that Asian Paints is likely to post a double-digit volume growth and maintain its bottom line story.

Stock market live updates: Monarch Networth Capital’s take on MSTC Limited
CMP - INR 859 | TP - Rs 1,726 | 52 week High/Low- 842/239
MSTC’s near-monopolistic market status offering a trusted and transparent e-commerce platform for auctioning metal scraps places it in a virtually unassailable position in an attractive emerging area of vehicle scrapping. The icing on the cake is its joint venture with Mahindra Group which is into vehicle scrapping, a sunrise sector with immense potential.
• Vehicle scrappage business holds immense potential: India came up with a vehicle scrappage policy in 2021 but the implementation has been slow. Recent news articles indicate progress on this front as a few state governments have notified policies related to ELV certification and more will likely follow suit. MSTC will likely be a major beneficiary of this trend.
• Fundamentals strong with legacy issues behind: MSTC has almost downsized its goods trading business where it suffered significant impairment in its receivables from private sector clients. Additionally, the GoI is looking to divest MSTC’s 100% subsidiary, Ferro Scrap Nigam Limited.
• Valuation: Our back-of-the-envelope exercise indicates an upside of 70%-130% over the next 2-3 years. MSTC has been earning an ROE and ROCE of 25%+ over the last 2 years. Applying a target P/E of 15.0x on a potential FY26E net income of INR 8,100 mn, our pro-forma fair value comes to INR 1,726, which implies an upside of 101% from current levels.

Stock market live updates: 42 lakh demat accounts were opened in December 2023. Here’s what Mukesh Kochar, National Head, Wealth, AUM Capital, said on the trends
“Opening of this record demat account is due to fear of missing out (FOMO) factor. The market is trading at a record high and investors have made significant profit as the rally is broadbased. New investors are coming in by hearing the noise around to participate in the rising market. Buoyancy in the IPO market is also prompting these investors to open demat accounts to participate in these IPOs. The retail base has significantly increased post-corona and has supported the volume of the market heavily. New investors are adding from different parts of the countries including the small towns. Opening these accounts will further strengthen the retail volume and participation. Although a word of caution is important at this point in time. These investors should come to the market for a longer period of time with a mindset of regular investing and should avoid investing in penny stocks on rumours. Marker is at a lifetime high and volatility may increase from here onwards.”

Stock market live updates: Manish Chowdhury, Head of Research, StoxBox, on China GDP Q4 data (preview)
“Ahead of the GDP data tomorrow, China’s economy is expected to grow 5.2% from a year earlier in the fourth quarter of 2023 and clock a feeble growth of around 5% in 2023 in comparison to its historical growth and other major emerging economies. A combination of domestic property slump, unsustainable debt of provincial governments and weakening confidence of consumers and businesses has poured cold water on hopes of a bounce back in China’s economic growth post COVID pandemic. With global economy expected to slow down in 2024, it looks difficult for China to rekindle its exports amid persistent deflationary pressures in the economy. It is likely to become increasingly tough for China to sustain the current growth rate in 2024 due to structural challenges in the economy. We will not be surprised to see stimulus measures from the People’s Bank of China aimed at reviving the property market which remains the cornerstone for the Chinese economy.”

Stock market live updates: Dhruv Mudaraddi, Research Analyst, StoxBox, on LTIMindtree’s Q3 FY24 results (preview)
We expect LTIMindtree to post a moderation in revenue growth and register an increase of 0.5%-1% QoQ in Q3FY24. This subdued growth can be attributed to reduced number of working days and a higher-than-expected impact of furloughs, particularly in the BFSI and Hi-Tech verticals. However, the momentum in the manufacturing and energy verticals is expected to partially offset these challenges. Additionally, we expect a slight decline in margin, attributable to third-quarter seasonality, lower growth in the higher-margin BFSI/Hi-Tech verticals, and furloughs. However, we anticipate these headwinds to be partially offset by operational efficiencies. As LTI Mindtree navigates these challenges, we will be looking out for the impact of wage hikes and macro headwinds on margin and guidance for FY24, commentary on client budgets and latest developments in the merger.

Stock market live updates today: Pre-market views by Avdhut Bagkar Technical and Derivatives Analyst, StoxBox.
Oil prices moved little in Asian trade on Tuesday as traders awaited more developments in the Middle East, while a string of key economic readings due this week also kept markets on edge. Most Asian stocks fell on Tuesday, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 retreating as investors locked in profits from a stellar rally, while focus turned to key upcoming economic indicators from China. On the domestic economic front, India’s trade deficit fell to a three-month low of $19.8 billion in December 2023 as exports grew and imports eased. Furthermore, Housing finance companies could be in focus today after the RBI tightened rules related to deposit acceptance. On the stock-specific front, Jio Financial Services posted a net profit of Rs 293 crores for the December quarter of the current financial year, down from the previous quarter’s Rs 668 crores. Amidst the ongoing earning season, the GIFT Nifty indicates a marginally negative start for the broader indices after a strong rally in the previous session.
The 50 index opened over 150 points higher led by the IT packs. While the opening hour remained edgy and marked an intraday low of 21963, the price action rebounded strongly to close at record highs. On the derivative front, 22000PE saw the highest addition of open interest indicating a relatively stronger and immediate support. As we advance, the index is anticipated to continue to attract bullish strength provided the support zone near 22000-21900 remains intact on a closing basis.

Stock market live updates: US and Chinese Economic Data Overview
• Markets remain cautious ahead of key economic readings, including Chinese fourth-quarter GDP data.
• Economic growth in China is expected to exceed the government’s 5% annual target, but this growth is expected to be influenced by a weaker base for comparison in 2022.
• China imported record-high crude levels in 2023, but sustained economic weakness and high inventory levels are expected to reverse this trend in 2024.
• In the U.S., retail sales and industrial production data for December are due, with any strength in retail spending likely to affect inflation outlook.
• Uncertainty over U.S. interest rates has been a major point of contention, with recent signs of inflation resilience affecting oil prices.

Stock market live updates today: Silver gains strength to $23.17
Silver prices inched higher, buoyed by renewed optimism about early rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve. The dollar experienced a slight decline following data indicating an unexpected drop in U.S. producer prices in December, driven by reduced costs for goods like diesel fuel and food. This data, contrasting with the earlier robust Consumer Price Index (CPI) results, fueled hopes for a gradual convergence of inflation toward the Fed’s target. Market participants are currently pricing in an 81% chance of a rate cut by the Fed in March, as indicated by CME’s Fed Watch tool.

Stock market live updates today: Gold up at $ 2050.60
Gold prices advanced, driven by increased safe-haven demand amid tensions in the Middle East. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, now surpassing 100 days, and the Houthi militia’s threat to respond to U.S. airstrikes in Yemen have heightened geopolitical risks. Gold, known for its reliability during economic turmoil, attracts investors seeking a hedge against the uncertainties associated with geopolitical unrest. The metal’s appeal was further bolstered as markets began to anticipate an earlier-than-expected rate cut by the Federal Reserve, contributing to the positive performance of gold in the current market environment.

Stock market live updates: Sharekhan’s take on major stocks
HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd
https://www.sharekhan.com/MediaGalary/StockIdea/HDFC_Life-Jan15_2024.pdf
Weak Q3
BUY\u0009CMP : Rs. 615\u0009PT : Rs. 750\u0009
HDFC Life reported ~2% y-o-y decline in APE (~7% below estimates) resulting in VNB declining by ~2% y-o-y (missing our estimates by ~10%). However, VNB margins stood at 26.8% stable y-o-y.
Lower APE was led by lower Non-PAR (-32%), Group protection (-31%), Annuity (-9%) and PAR (-2%) sales. While ULIP (+88%) and Individual Protection (+54%) witnessed strong growth.
Muted growth seen on Banca (~3% yoy) and Agency (~3%) channel while Direct and Broker channel declined by 6% y-o-y & 57% y-o-y respectively.
Stock currently trades at 2.4x/ 2.0x its FY2025E/ FY2026E EVPS. We maintain a Buy on the stock with an unchanged PT of Rs. 750.
Tata Consumer Products Ltd
https://www.sharekhan.com/MediaGalary/StockIdea/TCPL-3R-Jan15_2024.pdf
Acquisitions to fill white spaces to fuel growth
BUY CMP : Rs. 1,150 PT : Rs. 1,315
Tata Consumer Products Limited (TCPL) is set to acquire Capital Foods and Organic India, which fit well within key growth platforms, including premiumization and value accretion in the portfolio.
There is significant potential to leverage TCPL’s strong distribution network, global presence and increasing scale with scope for operating efficiencies to drive profitability.
Acquisitions would be done at combined enterprise value (EV) of Rs. 7,000 crore; and funded through a mix of internal accruals/debt/equity. It will be earnings accretive in FY26E (in mid-single digits based on calculations).
Stock trades at 58x/52x its FY2025E/26E EPS. Acquisitions will add strong value to portfolio and earnings in the medium to long run. We maintain a Buy with a revised PT of Rs. 1,315.
Infosys Ltd
https://www.sharekhan.com/MediaGalary/StockIdea/Infosys-3R-Jan12_2024.pdf
No bad news, is good news
BUY CMP : Rs. 1,612 PT : Rs. 1,850
Revenues stood at $4,663 million, down 1% q-o-q in constant currency CC terms, beating our estimates of $4,625 million in a seasonally soft quarter.
EBIT margin declined ~70 bps q-o-q to 20.5% in- line with our expectations of 20.3%. EBIT margin during the quarter was impacted by wage hike and McCamish cyber-attack incident but partially offset by cost optimization efforts.
Large deal TCV stood at $3.2 billion, with 71% being net new deals. Deal win momentum remains strong with TTM TCVs up ~53% y-o-y.
The management has tightened the revenue growth guidance for FY24 to 1.5-2% in CC terms from 1-2.5% implying muted revenue growth for Q4FY24 but has maintained the operating margin guidance for FY24 at 20% to 22%.
Large deal signings and continuity of renewals to gain further traction as macro headwinds recede, improving earning visibility for FY25/FY26E. Hence, we maintain a Buy on Infosys with revised PT of Rs. 1850 (increase in PT reflects the roll forward to FY26E EPS) At the CMP, the stock trades at 23.3x/20x its FY25/26E EPS.
HCL Technologies Ltd
https://www.sharekhan.com/MediaGalary/StockIdea/HCLTech-3R-Jan12_2024.pdf
Robust Q3; Maintain Buy
BUY CMP : Rs. 1,543 PT : Rs. 1,780
HCL Tech reported strong revenues of $3,415 million, up 6% q-o-q/4.3% y-o-y in constant currency (CC) terms beating our estimates of 4.4% q-o-q CC led by ERS, HCL Software and IT services, which grew 8.7%/32% and 1.9%, q-o-q respectively in CC terms.
EBIT margins improved ~130 bps q-o-q to 19.8% owing to outperformance from the software (180 bps) that was offset by services margin (50 Bps) despite wage hike and furloughs. New deal win TCVs stood at $1,927 million, down 51%/18% on a q-o-q and y-o-y basis, respectively.
FY24 CC revenue growth (including ASAP acquisition) guidance narrowed to 5-5.5% at company level as well as for Services segment. Ask rate for Q4FY24 at 0.3 to 2.1%, and 1.6 to 3.5% at services level.
We believe HCL Tech is well-equipped to maintain its growth leadership among large peers in the medium term given the diversified portfolio that is well-aligned to growth areas and strong execution. Hence, we maintain Buy with revised price target (PT) of Rs 1,780. At CMP the stock trades at 22.5/19.1x its FY25/26E EPS.
Wipro Ltd
https://www.sharekhan.com/MediaGalary/StockIdea/Wipro-3R-Jan12_2024.pdf
Beats expectations, Optimistic Commentary
HOLD CMP : Rs. 465 PT : Rs. 530
Wipro’s Q3FY24 revenue stood at $2,656.6 million, down 1.7% q-o-q in CC but above our estimate of 2.5% q-o-q decline in CC owing to weakness in Communications, Manufacturing, Technology, Consumer, and BFSI verticals partially offset by growth in HealthCare and Energy & Utilities.
IT services margin declined 10bps q-o-q to 16%, beating our estimates of 15.4% despite wage hikes and furloughs. Total bookings stood at $3.8 billion while large deal TCV stood at $0.9 billion, down 8.3% y-o-y in CC.
The company provided revenue growth guidance for IT services in the range of -1.5 to 0.5% in constant currency for Q4FY24 implying anticipation of improving demand environment.
In line with our sector upgrade, we have raised the target multiple for Wipro to factor in receding macro headwinds and better earnings visibility for FY25. However, we believe Wipro’s earnings growth momentum would lag its Tier 1 peers. Hence, we maintain Hold on Wipro with revised price target (PT) of Rs. 530. At CMP, the stock trades at 20.5/17.7x its FY25/26E EPS.
Gujarat Gas Ltd
https://www.sharekhan.com/MediaGalary/StockIdea/GujGas-3R-Jan12_2024.pdf
Margin tailwinds from fall in spot LNG price
BUY CMP : Rs. 535 PT : Rs. 615
A sharp fall of 34% in spot LNG price to $11/mmBtu since November 2023 could act as margin tailwinds for Gujarat Gas. Asian spot LNG March 2024 futures show further decline of 10% to $10/mmBtu.
Propane prices stay firm at $580-600/tonne and a likely improvement in I-PNG’s competitiveness versus propane could drive volume recovery from Morbi ceramic cluster as customers may switch to natural gas from propane.
Likely lower gas costs and volume recovery would drive solid 30% earnings CAGR over FY2024E-FY2026E along with RoE of 21%.
We maintain a Buy with a revised PT of Rs. 615 as we rollover PE multiple to FY26E EPS. At CMP, the stock trades at 19x FY26E EPS.
Hi-Tech Pipes Ltd
https://www.sharekhan.com/MediaGalary/Equity/Hitech-3R-Jan12_2024.pdf
Operational profitability upbeat; outlook is positive
POSITIVE CMP : Rs. 147 Upside potential : 20%
We stay Positive on Hi-Tech Pipes and expect a 20% upside, rolling forward our valuation multiple to FY2026E earnings, considering its strong net earnings growth outlook over FY2023-FY2026E.
Consolidated Q3 net earnings beat estimates, led by higher-than-estimated operational profitability, while revenue lagged due to lower realisation.
Hi-Tech expects sales volume of over 4 lakh tonne for FY2024 and 20-25% y-o-y growth for FY2025-FY2026. EBITDA/tonne target is pegged at Rs. 3,500 and Rs. 4,000 for FY2025 and FY2026, respectively.
About 1.2 lakh tonne of the 1.7-lakh tonne LDA pipe project at Sanand is under trial runs. Hitech eyes a 1-million tonne capacity by FY2025-end.

SHAREKHAN SPECIAL:-Q3FY2024 Results Preview
Modest growth, domestic themes to outperform
https://www.sharekhan.com/MediaGalary/Equity/Q3FY24_ResultsPreview-Jan11_2024.pdf
In Q3FY24, we expect a modest y-o-y earnings growth of 11% for Nifty 50 companies driven by domestic cyclicals such as banks, automobile as well as capital goods, pharmaceuticals, cement, while IT and chemicals would underperform.
EBITDA margins are likely expand for automobiles, cement and metal sectors while those of IT, agri-inputs, speciality chemicals are likely to contract on a y-o-y basis. For the SK universe, we expect healthy 14% y-o-y earnings growth.
Demand outlook in domestic (urban/rural) and export market after the festive season, margin outlook and capex recovery would be keenly watched out for in management commentaries.
Nifty’s valuation of 20x FY25E EPS is not cheap but not expensive either given expectations of a 12-14 % CAGR in Nifty-50 earnings over next two years. Favourable macros, potential rate cuts, easing inflation and policy reforms bodes well for equity. After a strong rally in the small/mid-cap space, we turned selective and preferred large caps.
High-conviction investment ideas:
Large-caps: HDFC Bank, SBIN, L&T, Tata Motors, ITC, Tata Consumers, Sun Pharma, Tata Power, NTPC, IndusInd Bank, TCS, DLF, Lupin, HeroMoto.
Mid-caps: BEL, APL Apollo, Bharat Forge, HAL, Indian Hotels, PNB, Bank of India, Sanofi India, LTIM, CESC.
Small-caps: Artemis Healthcare, Kirloskar Oil Engines, Rolex Rings, Samhi Hotels, Koltepatil, Caplin Point, CIE India, Garware Hitech, NIIT MTS, Birlasoft and Subros.
Tata Consultancy Services Ltd
https://www.sharekhan.com/MediaGalary/StockIdea/TCS-3R-Jan11_2024.pdf
Earnings beat; Maintain Buy
BUY\u0009CMP : Rs. 3,736\u0009PT : Rs. 4,200\u0009
Q3 earnings were better than estimates in a seasonally soft quarter with revenues at $7,281 million, up 1.7% y-o-y in constant currency (cc) beating our estimates of $7,224 million driven by Energy Resources and Utilities, Manufacturing, and Life Sciences & Healthcare verticals.
EBIT margins improved ~75 bps q-o-q to 25%, beating estimates by ~50 bps led by operational efficiencies and reduction in sub-contractor expenses partially offset by furloughs and higher third-party expenses. Deal win TCVs were stable and broad-based at $8.1 billion, up ~4% y-o-y. Book to bill ratio stood at 1.1x.
Management commentary was stable and hopeful of a recovery in FY25 owing to expectations of sector headwinds bottoming out. Management believes there will be positive momentum in BFSI in the next quarter and are some seeing green shoots in Consumer vertical.
We believe TCS is well positioned to grab cost optimisation and transformational opportunities as sector headwinds recede and witness a strong pick-up in growth momentum given its strong domain capabilities , contextual knowledge and strong execution . Hence, we maintain Buy rating on TCS with an unchanged PT of Rs. 4,200. At CMP, the stock trades at 26.4x/23.3x FY25/26E EPS.

Market updates| Indranil Pan, Chief Economist · YES BANK on WPI Inflation.
WPI: Positive but softer than anticipated
Headline WPI grew +0.7% YoY in December but declined by 0.9% on a sequential basis. Broad-based moderation was seen across primary, fuel and manufactured products, expected to also support retail inflation. Primary articles declined by 2.1% MoM while fuel and manufactured products de-grew both on a MoM and YoY basis. WPI core inflation sequentially declined by 0.2%. With MoM changes to WPI core still negative, any pressure on CPI core is also likely to remain muted. We retain our view for the RBI to be on an extended pause: first cut seen around August 2024.
Highlights:
• WPI inflation grew by 0.7% YoY in December; registered a sequential decline of 0.9% MoM
• Core inflation declined 0.6% YoY in December
• We retain our monetary policy call; extended pause anticipated till August 2024 policy

Stock market live updates: Asia stocks open lower; oil steady after Monday decline
Asian equities fell Tuesday following declines in European stocks and bonds as European Central Bank officials tamped down rapid rate cut expectations.
Australian and Japanese shares slipped, while contracts for US equities edged lower after a Monday holiday. Treasuries declined in their first trading session since Friday as Australian and New Zealand sovereign bonds also joined the selloff.
The region-wide Euro Stoxx 50 traded lower in Europe on Monday, partly weighed down by a contraction in German gross domestic product in the fourth quarter, although Europe’s largest economy managed to avoid recession.
Elsewhere, oil prices were steady after a Monday retreat, even as tensions in the Red Sea endured. Houthi militants hit a US-owned commercial vessel with a ballistic missile on Monday, underscoring the risks facing one of the world’s most important trade routes. West Texas Intermediate traded just below $73 a barrel, while Brent crude was above $78. (Bloomberg)
